Perhaps we are talking about a different download folder. Since this one is most certainly controlled by Windows with a "native" Windows cleanup function. By default, it's selected. If a user selects it as a file location, the files will be deleted on a cleanup.

Yes, the "C:\Users\Ethans PC\Downloads" folder is the one which is causing all the problems. The "C:\Windows\Downloaded Program Files" folder has been cleaned with the Disk Cleanup software many times but there wasn't anything of use in there.

Do you or have you been using Advanced System Care by IObits or any other programs from IObits?

Nice call Jack.

Search results show that there are remnants left behind when ASC is uninstalled. I'm not certain, but some reports state that there are running remnants. The really sad thing is that the IObit uninstaller is recommended as a remedy. This is a general uninstaller, not a specific ASC uninstaller as far as I can tell.

Iobit programs are very difficult to remove. They may also leave behind the ability to call home to China. Their was one member on the Seven Forum after blocking the Iobit call home on his computer they started calling him on his regular phone.

Many have had to do a Clean Install just to get rid of all the Iobit. If you just remove A.S.C. you don't know what it has done so you don't know what needs fixed.
Any internal or external drives can also have damage done by this Iobit trash.

Please note the part in orange. I have not been able to find the post I read that from to verify it is the truth on my part.
If anybody finds it please PM me so I can verify to all.
Thank you Layback Bear.

Unknown folder has appeared in my 'My Downloads' folder.A folder named'-Unsafe-' has appeared in my downloads folder. The obvious thing to do, I suppose, would be to open it to see what is in it, however the clue to NOT doing this is in the folder name!!
Has anyone any experience if this?? :confused:

My Downloads folderHi, My downloads folder is on my desktop AND in my documents. If I delete it on the desktop, the one in the documents also disappears. What the hell is going on? Doesn't it slow the computer if such a large file is on the desktop? How do I get rid of it from the desktop?
